CURIOSITIES

In 1994 he opened a modern winery equipped with the best production systems. It mainly produces Crianza, Reserva wines of the highest quality. The new winery was complemented with new and successive extensions, such as another new production area that came into operation for the 1998 harvest and a new barrel warehouse opened in 1999 and where 2,000 new barrels are housed.

By the end of 2006, a new phase of 4,500 square meters was completed to improve the grape reception area. There is now a vibrating reception hopper for the grapes destined for the LUIS CAÑAS CRIANZA Y RESERVA, two new manual selection tables and a grain selection system. There is an area to make HIGH ESSENCE wines where the usual cluster selection table has been completed with a new phase where the grains are selected, being one of the first wineries in Spain to have this system called Mistral.

Likewise, there is a new and modern production area with the most modern manufacturing systems: tanks with independent temperature control, automatic pump-overs, self-emptying, etc.

This is the result of its wines of proven quality and guaranteed by its continuously growing market share and a loyal clientele, as well as by the prestigious awards and mentions achieved both nationally and internationally in the most important tastings and competitions in the world.
